I was talking to our ACP about it last week after this was brought out and he said our upper mgmt has been aware for at least a year. Of course he said that getting it would be a long road since it is a line item budget and must be written in and then all the way to Congressionally approved; but there is hope.
So let me get this part straight because I don’t know a lot about it...but you guys - if SSR (what does that stand for?) is the same thing I’m talking about which I seems to be, is just a locality/COLA adjustment? The email I was referencing earlier made it seem like a plain old PAY increase for purposes of manning shortages (I did NOT mean to sound like I thought it was a short term bonus like they used in the military), but rather an increase in base GS/Step pay and I wondered if then the locality pay would be on top of that. What has been said here makes me think that is not the case.
Good luck to us all.
It definitely does not need congressional approval. AMO timeline from request submittal to OPM approval was about 3 months. Implemented as of today.
USMC, your raises can be higher than 35% because you have way more room to the cap without LEAP. Look at the bottom of those tables to see all your brethren that are already getting it. Honestly surprised DOT isn’t.
